Abstract
A conveyor apparatus for feeding a sheet material such as a sheet of glass in a heating furnace includes an array of feed rolls for feeding the sheet material in a feeding direction, the feed rolls having respective axes extending in a direction transverse to the feeding direction. A motor is disposed on a side of the array of feed rolls. An array of drive support rollers is disposed on the side of the array of feed rolls and operatively connected to the motor for rotation thereby. Each of the drive support rollers commonly supports adjacent two of the feed rolls for rotating the adjacent two feed rolls.
